With Alan traveling this week, Tom Finn takes the lead to explain why procurement professionals are actually the firm's most important asset managers. He breaks down why we must shift from chasing simple "savings" to protecting a company's hurdle rate and return on invested capital. The episode explores the high-stakes risks of "shadow debt" and IFRS 16, where a standard contract signature can accidentally trigger a bank covenant default. We also analyze Boeing's multi-billion dollar "integration tax" failure and contrast it with Apple’s successful strategy of outsourcing execution while keeping design complexity in-house. All this on the latest episode of Rebuild Procurement.
